    While making unprofitable use of my time I found this WT Quote-

    ''For example, in all good faith one might ask,

    What was Jehovah doing before he created Jesus, by whom he made all other things?

    it is not said what Jehovah was doing before creating Jesus. Maybe he was lonely or something

    If Adam and Eve had repented, would God have forgiven them?

    Probably, though they still might be punished. Remember King David repented but was still punished. Much like a child who does something wrong, if they are truly sorry then the parent will forgive them but still a punishment would still have to be metered out

    What happened to the bodies of those who perished in the Flood?

    Most likely they will remain there and not be ressurected since according to the Bible all of mankind was wicked save for Noah and his family.

    Did the expensive gifts brought to the babe Jesus make Joseph and Mary rich for the rest of their lives?

    No one knows what they did with the gifts

    What did Jesus do between the ages of twelve and thirty besides his carpentering?

    The Bible provides no details to this account. There are some Apocrypha texts which tell of Jesus's childhood. They are spurious at best heresy at worst.

    How would Jehovah have redeemed the race if Jesus had not proved faithful?

    IF Jesus failed, he would choose another person.

    Exactly how long did Jesus’ trip to heaven take? Much time could be spent conjecturing on such matters.

    Well it wasn't instantaneous since the Apostles and Disciples of Christ had time to view him acsending to Heaven.

    Likewise it is possible to spend valuable time speculating on matters concerning the future. One might ask,

    In what year will Armageddon begin?

    No one knows, even Jesus didn't know.

    Will the faithful angels eventually receive immortality?

    Faithfull angels have immortality already albeit conditional inmmortality, if they become unfaithful and wicked they will be destroyed.

    Will there be factories and machines in use after Armageddon?

    Possibly

    Will men wear beards again?

    maybe.

    What will be the medium of exchange in the new world?

    We'll just have to wait for the new world to find out.

    Will women now past the age of childbearing share in the procreation mandate?

    possibly since it happened before.

    If dedicated parents and children happen to die before Armageddon, which parent will raise the resurrected children, since resurrected mates will not remarry? (Luke 20:35)

    everyone will teach everyone since we are all one big "family" of sorts.

    Reading the Watchtower is an Unprofitable Use of Time!
